I blogged about For the Makers a while ago, I absolutely love this idea! Each month they send you a box filled with craft supplies for you to make 4 projects. I think it's so great so you don't have to go buy a whole box of whatever craft supplies to make 1 little project .. they send you just the right amount you need. So brilliant.

Today For the Makers is giving away a monthly box to 4 lucky winners! So 4 of you will have a chance to get some of this loveliness in your mailbox. Check out their blog for loads of inspiration and you can follow them on Twitter and Facebook! :)

This is awesome! I love making crafts and seeing the tangible result of sometimes hours of work. The biggest challenge that I run into is gathering all of the supplies. I either forget something, or I can't decide what tool/supply to actually use. This idea from For the Makers is perfect for that.

I love that DIY projects allow you to focus on one thing in the moment. Personally, it allows me to relax because I'm only thinking about the task at hand. Making something cute that you can be proud of doesn't hurt either!

Wow what a cool idea! I love DIY projects because they make me feel accomplished and good about myself. :) I was born without one of my hands and I think on a subconscious level I enjoy DIY's so much because they make me feel like I'm not "broken" and can still do things with my hands. That probably makes no sense but oh well. ha, thanks for the great giveaway!

I love DIY projects! There's nothing like the feeling of looking around your home and seeing it filled with things that you put the hard work into making. It makes your home feel that much more special and unique.

DIY projects are so cool because you get to customize things and it's pretty much in your control how they come out. Love them! Always have. Craft time was definitely my favorite period in elementary school.

I love DIY projects. Its a great way to spend time plus it add personal touches and character to whatever you make. I feel a great sense of pride whenever I see something that I made myself at my house or someone elses.

What I love about diy projects is that they let youir imagination explode and they can transform something dull into something anchanting!Plus it's a really great way to spend your day and just relax and have fun! :)

what i love most about diy projects is how unique they always turn out to be. even if two things are made with the same color materials or with the same design, the method and mood the maker has changes it all.in many ways a handmade project, especially a handmade gift is a heartfelt message to another.

I absolutely love creating. It just soothes something in my soul. I think that there is a special connection between doing something with your hands and the one for whom youre creating. Its a special, unique soul connection of saying "You are worth my time". Creating is my way of loving.

I love making new projects -- my art room is kind of a mess, but it's such a fun spot. I always have various crafts going on :) I'd love to win this contest and have a few more cool projects to work on!

How lovely! Thanks so much for hosting. Why I love diy projects? Well, I think in this day an age when stores produce factory-made stuff, there's something special about taking the time to go the "hard way" and make something by hand. It's so satisfactory. :D

I LOVE d.i.y crafts because it's not only super fun to make, but in the end you get something really cool that makes you proud of your hard work... It's fun AND rewarding :-) I hope to get a For the Makers box for Christmas if I don't win this giveaway

I love the opportunity to transform simple, everyday objects- take some christmas ornaments and make a chandelier, or turn a silverware caddy into a lamp, or some old canvas into a map... I love the endless possibilities!
